He sent me a text and photos of his benchwork yesterday afternoon, so must have happened after that. Great-googly-moogly.
to Buckeye, and everyone else here that needs them lifted.
Hello there,
Prayers for Buckeye
windy with high tides here. Water got about an inch deep around our camper. Didn't reach the next site. I'm guessing about a foot around the deepest ones. Walked over to the inlet this morning and watched the surf.
Planning to do nothing the rest of today..
Yesterday was a trip to Assateaque to see the horses and a short walk on the beach. Then late lunch in Berlin MD followed by a visit to both Toy Town locations, came away empty handed.
Time for a nap before lunch.
Prayers for those in need

44 this am, it was 92 yesterday afternoon! Some badly needed rain started with the front last night and just ended a while ago. The ms and I sat out on the back porch watching the lightening storm/rain as the front rolled through.
Knuckle on right hand is a bit better this morning, I can bend the finger some!
Regards, Roy
Good afternoon, Spent the morning sitting on my backside waiting for the wife to have her ultrasound, boy those hospitals are slow! Then back to town to get something fro lunch then to the house. Temps are falling here as well, was in the 70s yesterday and will be down to 34 tonight. Leaves are dropping but too wet to burn. At least NO SNOW!
Prayers for Buckeye and a fast recovery!
Roy I hate those knuckle busters!
My friend from Denton TX. called this morning and he is on his way up here. Guess his sister is not well and he needs to mover her to TX so he can have care for her. Sucks getting old!

Buckeye, glad you are back home! Heal up quickly!
A beaut of a day here with sun and 60's,! mid-70's tomorrow.
Our internet went out yesterday. The tech today found someone working on the new fiber system yesterday disconnected the line to our side of the street. Since the system is new, we are the only folks on our street on the new high speed fiber.
Mornin' boys. Crisp 37 degrees along the Patterson Creek cut-off. Big train yesterday; bigger today. Youngest Princess is home for the weekend, and I've been getting my daddy-daughter time in when I can.
Got to Michael's, and picked up some artist acrylic paints for my layout's waterways. Also picked up the Lemax Sugar Plum Bakery (thanks to Wifey), for the North Pole display.
Buckeye - Glad you are back home. Speedy recovery. I'm sure Bob Keller will approve the Pacemaker, since he loves all things NYC... Take it easy, Sir.
Ya know, a Pacemaker boxcar would be perfect for a CPI from Buckeye...red and grey...same colors as his beloved OSU.
Just saying...

Glad to hear you are home. Get some rest and follow your Dr.'s orders.
Take care,

Great news Buckeye!!!
Nice fall weather here on The North Bluff above Marseilles and starting to dry out. Grand-kids are coming over this evening to spend the night and hang out here tomorrow rather than spend the day in day care. We will have some fall fun things to do.
Should also run some trains.
Best get!
Church this AM. Raining finally.
Does and one young 4 pointer was it for yesterday. Hot 84 degrees. Somky yesterday morning due to control burn near farms.
Resting rest of the day.
Evening All,I just received a text message from Roy, He is currently in the hospital! As most of you may recall he had an incident when he was macheing a part on a lathe this past week. He jammed his knuckle on the cutting tool. He ended up going to ER today, and they determined he had a infection going on. As a result he is on an IV for antibiotics, and they are keeping him overnight. He is scheduled to see an Orthopedic Surgeon tomorrow. (Mon). He indicated in his message, that he was not reachable via phone or may not be able to post for a couple of days. (If I hear any more from him, I will definitely pass it on.)Locally, we are escaping any issues regarding the fires, the active ones in So. Cal., are about 60 miles from us, North and East. We did have a small earthquake thrown in for fun yesterday, it was a small one only 2.5, and it was a sharp jolt, not a rolling one. Did have a big mess from the Santa Ana winds and all the fallout from neighbors trees. Ended up clogging the pool filter system, and water supply lines. Got that all cleaned up and cleared out today.About all from here.
Don
Ok. Adding Roy to the List...
Now the rest of you, stay healthy, dangit.
ditto
We no more get Buckeye taken care of and home and we get roy thrown into the hospital, What's going on here.

Afternoon All,
I did hear from Roy, the Orthopedic Dr, worked on the knuckle doing a "simple" clean and drain, apparently that did not do great. So they are waiting a day and may require another Dr., to operate on it for joint repair. That decision will be made on Wed.. Meanwhile he will be staying in the Hosp, so far he has had 4 bags of antibiotics via IV so far. Hopefully, the antibiotics may have a significant improvement in the next 24 hrs..Watched the finish of the rain delayed Nascar race (Talledaga), today. Wow WHAT an exciting race!!! It was unique in so far as the Manufacturers getting involved with their specific drivers, coercing them to "work" together. And that had a lot of influence IMO of how the race played out!Prayers for all those having health issues!!
WOW Roy! get better ASAP!!!
Well I can tell ya, twice the grand-kids= twice the work!!!
The boy's son almost launched my LionChief+ off the table. Seems he put it on wide open then shut off the remote and all it could do is head for the edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grabed it just before it launched... Boys and the need for speed! All of them are now driving the old Gator, so tell them to go slow, and as soon as they can't see you they punch it. Guess they don't think can hear the engine,
I am wooped!
Sun and 35 this morning. First frost although quite lite.
Our club meet was well attended with a full basement of train nuts.
Afternoon. Resting up today after an early one out yesterday. Town Board tonight. Errands this afternoon.
Have a good one.
a prayer for Roy's hand.
Traveled from da beach to York today.
Tomorrow a trip to Lancaster and the outlets.
Maybe one of the preshows advertised in the TCA headquarter news on the way back.
May check out the D3R video before crashing.
Evening All, Roy Update -- Got a text message as follows: "They are giving me 5 IV antibiotic bags a day. It has not improved today. Guess tomorrow will tell. The surgeon is supposed to come by according to his PA. I have no assurance of that so hope it is true. They are really hoping the antibiotics knock this out but we think it has abscessed."I haven't talked with him, but I know its got to be tough stuck in the hospital, especially with his daughters wedding coming up, and all the preps that need to be done. Hopefully tomorrow will have more definite plans and strategy on his treatment. Continued Prayers.Well York is really getting close! Hope everyone has double checked the shopping list, and visited the bank, and got fresh cushions for the shoes. Oh yeah may need to check the weather forecast. IF it wasn't so far away I would try going, just to see those who do. Can't think of a thing I would buy, just don't have space anymore.Had a great day today, was in the garage and a tree trimming truck pulled up to the neighbors house! They are going to get some trees finally trimmed!! You wouldn't believe how overgrown they are, I've been cutting branches off my roof. This past weekend all the dried leaves and twigs clogged up our pool. And we have had many more issues, finally after repeated discussions with them, and even a little more abrasive this past week they are finally doing something! HurrayTake care all, and be safe!
Aloha all. Cold and dark this morning. Nothing too new in my world except work busyness and my 11th parents' night at the local high school. Ivor gets his legs stretched occasionally as does his Hornby clockwork companions. I continue to mess around with the layout - mostly shrinking it a bit closer to the edge from its largest size (that was 24 by 19 ft.) Prayers for Roy's recovery and Linda's tap to go smoothly and painless.

Morning. Being lazy again today. Raining. Prayers for Roy.
Good Morning from overcast 50°F Southern Ohio,
The temps are to drop all day into the low 40’s. Been absent from the pot for a week or so due to too much stuff between work at work and work at home. Today is my annual Hazmat refresher training so I’m not in charge and can actually relax a little. I’ll be in Level A response suit and on SCBA the rest of the day for evaluation.
Prayers for Buckeye and Roy.
Got to go
May God bless you and your families
Jim
Pacemaker seems to be working. Heartrate is a minimum of 60. See doctors on Monday.
Roy...Hope you are doing well?
DJ...My grandson from NJ attended OSU-Rutgers Basketball game two years ago. He wore his Scarlett and Gray National Championship sweatshirt to the game. Glad the tap went well. I hate those things.
I had just completed the second table for the layout before heading to the hospital. All work suspended for 2-3 weeks.
Evening All,Roy Update -- Got a text message as follows: "They worked on my knuckle in the room today. Ugly. Physically draining. He could not quite get all of the goop out. Having to soak it more and try to keep the wound open and draining. Mainlining antibiotics."Talked with Roy briefly last night, he seemed in relatively good spirits, a little frustration was quite evident. He also commented that he had a very nice private room, and the food was pretty good. Also all his nurses are RN's, so he's not doing to bad, but I''m sure he doesn't want to be there.Finished the Awnings today (MIL), going to install them tomorrow, after my Dr visit at the VA. Just found out all vets can now get a 10% discount from AMTRAK. BUCKEYE, GREAT PROGRESS ON THE LAYOUT, NOW YOU HAVE TIME FOR A GOOD DESIGN REVIEW FOR THE LAYOUT PLAN, AND BUILD PLANS! Great to hear the new ticker is working well. It doesn't use 9 Ghz, does it?
